We had another appointment on Monday, Nov 26th. I LOVE that the Dr I go to does ultrasounds at each visit. We are hoping that at our next appointment we will see the gender!! This pregnancy has been quite different from my last one. With Emma I was had nausea and fatigue for about 4 weeks is all. With this one the nausea and fatigue set in at about 4.5/5 weeks and the nausea is starting to die down but the fatigue is still persistent. Needless to say I am thankful that I can stay home and that Emma still naps for 1.5-2hrs each day. We are so excited for this little one's arrival. But I am SO nervous about being a parent to 2 children. I am worried that Emma will feel neglected, also I am worried about how much she is going to want to "help" with the baby. I am all for some help of course, but I am worried about when she wants to pick up the baby and wants to carry it downstairs because she sees mommy doing it. I have no doubt that she is going to be an AMAZING big sister. She is going to LOVE her little brother or sister so much. She gets so excited when we get to see the baby in an ultrasound.

While we were in Phoenix, we went to the Sea Life Aquarium. Emma calls it the "Quarian" (hence the title) Now this Aquarium is located inside a Mall, that just tells you how big this Mall is :)

A dinosaur skeleton in the water. After the aquarium we went to lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, which was also located in the Mall. Emma wasn't too sure about the "rain storms" that occurred in the cafe. If you have never been to one, they have lots of anamatronic animals like gorillas, leopards, birds, and elephants. When the rain storm starts the animals start moving and making noises. I love it but she wasn't too sure.

My sweet little nephew Landon Justin Haworth joined this world a month before his due date. He was perfectly healthy at 6 lbs 3.9 oz and 19 in long. He is so cute! I am so excited to be an aunt finally! He looks so much like my Brother Justin when Justin was a baby.

After Emma's birthday, she and I were able to go back to Phoenix with my parents and see my little nephew. So here is a picture of Emma and her very first cousin :)

Giving Baby Landon kisses! She really didn't know what to do with him, this was about all the attention she would give him. She's never really been around babies.

Ahhh, Peach days. It was this weekend 10 years ago that Brock and I were "spying" on each other at the car show because both of us were too shy to talk to the other. This year we went up on friday night, Brock had to work on Saturday :( , and watched the kids parade and honestly I may watch that one from now on it so much shorter. We go for the fire trucks and thats about it. But after that we walked to booths and waited for Tyler, Rebecca, Rod and Kris to show up and we had some dinner, then Rod bought Emma tickets to ride the rides and we did that for about and hour and a half. She LOVED it!At the paradeEmma and Pappa on the Merry-go-roundOn the Ferris WheelOn a Dragon RideOn the "Monster Trucks" *Sorry its a little fuzzy.

*Northern Utah Parade of Homes. We were hoping to go and find some fun ideas for our house, and boy did we ever.

*CAMPING~~~FINALLY!

Brock and Emma on the 4wheeler, she wanted to ride it about 10 times a day

Digging with Uncle Jerry. She took to him right away. Everything she wanted to say, she would direct to him. "Uncle Jerry, that's the 4wheeler" "Uncle Jerry, you scoop(dig) with me?" etc.

Helping Pappa burn the trash.

*You might be a redneck if......*

.....you strap your child's carseat to the front of the 4wheeler so she is safe. And believe me that thing wasn't going anywhere. ~He only rode with her around the campground like this~She loved it. She kept wanting to go again and again.

About Me

Emma K.

What can I say about our little Emma. She was born in Sept 2009. She's her Daddy's Sweetie, her Mommy's Princess. She is such a sweet little girl. She is very considerate, and caring of all of her family. She is a very helpful Big Sister. She sometimes thinks she is the mom and tries to boss Lexi around all the time. She is VERY literal and she can take some things very seriously, unfortunately she got that trait from me. We just love her so much. She is such a blessing in our lives.

Lexi M.

Lexi was born in May of 2013, and oh boy! is going to give us a run for our money when she gets older. She is walking and talking. She is SO funny to watch, she likes to sit on the floor and read books to herself. She speaks fluent Gibberish so well in fact that we have a hard time understanding her most of the time. She knows how to pester her sister. She definitely beats to the tune of her own drum and she likes it that way. She is so much fun! She is learning so fast that she is going to be able to keep up with her sister in no time.
